Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 grams sliced pepperoni
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Stir in 2 cups of flour and the salt into the yeast mixture. Add the olive oil and mix well.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 6x4-inch rectangle.
Place 4-5 slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese onto each rectangle.
Roll each rectangle from the short side to enclose the filling completely, pinching the seams to seal.
Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
